Asa has been living with us for six months now. Time for another performance review! I’ll be using the same questions from his First 100 Days interview: How do you see your role in this family? Now that I’ve been here for six months, I feel that my role has been clearly defined as Entertainment […]
To get a full appreciation for what I’m about to tell you, please hum the theme song from Baywatch while you read this. In my last post I praised my little brother’s innate ability to swim. As our vacation continued, Asa proved to me that he was ready to put his skills to good use. So […]
Our vacation continues! This is Asa’s first time at the lake, and as a good big brother I was prepared to teach him how to swim. When I was a little scamp Lemmy wasn’t exactly a good teacher. Ok, he was awful! Lemmy was a bit of curmudgeon and wasn’t good at explaining things, so […]
Mom and Dad have a few days off from work. Time to head to my Grandparents’ lake house for a vacation! But before we head out, we need to pack. Asa and I have become accustomed to certain creature comforts. Therefore when we go on vacation it is like packing for a small army. Amongst […]
I’m beginning to realize that Asa is a literal little fellow, and that I need to be careful what I tell him. Case in point, this morning I was happily telling him that our family reunion will be happening soon. I LOVE this annual event! I get to see Momma Sage, Grandma Rue, Aunt Brie, […]
I watched a TV show today about the trend in environmentally friendly Tiny Houses. Who knew I was a trend setter?! I’ve been helping to build Tiny Houses for years! Whenever the weather permits, Mom likes to groom Asa and I outside. It’s part of her silly battle against fur tumbleweeds inside, but I digress. […]
Puppies these days have it too easy! Yesterday was a hot one here with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. Apparently Asa decided it was too inconvenient to stand in front of the AC to cool off, so he pawed at the fan until Mom turned it on for him. Seriously?! Why can’t he just content himself […]
Ok, I get it. Puppies explore the world by putting everything into their mouths. But Asa is certainly pushing the limits by treating our morning walks like a puppy smorgasbord! Must he stop and sample every maple tree seed, pinecone and twig that he sees? Worst yet, why does he insist on licking worms and […]
For months now I’ve been foolishly deluded into thinking I was invisible. Every time I ventured out with Asa, people would surround him while ignoring me. I thought for sure I was inadvertently doing something wrong and making people ignore me. But then it occurred to me the problem is not what I’m doing, but […]
Asa here. I don’t know why Chuck Billy wrote such a negative blog about Independence Day. Quite frankly I think it was the best holiday yet! We began our celebration by attending a friend’s delicious cookout. Unlike our parents who don’t like to share their table food with us, the children at this party were […]
